Is there a good solution for an entirely off-grid server?

Is it possible to use a smartphone hotspot/USB tethering for internet connection?

I have some solar panels & batteries and an old laptop (or I might get a raspberry pi) and am curious about whether I could selfhost literally in the middle of nowhere, without a residential internet connection?

    I should probably give in and get the Puli, I dislike non-replaceable batteries but I’m sure if it dies before I upgrade to 5G and give the device away I could figure out how to replace it.

    The Spitz AX looks awesome for e.g. an RV base station etc, but too many antennas for travel use. I used old Spitz on Amtrak with some success. I wish they had a similar 5G unit with 2x external 5G antennas, and internal antennas only for wifi.

    Maybe I will get my wish someday, GLi do like producing a variety of devices on a theme…
